Solar cells system

 

How does a solar cells system work ?

 

Solar cells system convert light to electricity;

 The technology is simple; dependable; there is no moving parts; it’s environmentally friendly, silent; and emission free.

 When photons from light of a suitable wavelength hit a photovoltaic cell, usually made of silicon, they can transfer their energy to some of the electrons in the material. One side of the cell is then positive (p) and the other side negative (n). When connections are made to each, a circuit is formed and the cells generate electricity.
